| Going up the Saint-Lewis-Arzviller Inclined Plane. Beautiful views of the valley as we ascended |
 |
| This inclined plane is on the Canal de la Marne au Rhin which allows the canal to cross the Vosges Mountains. This is accomplished by counterweights. There are two electric moors which drive the inclined lift. |
What an interesting post, Lisa. I like the photos of the chocolate makers, the chateau and the first telecoms tower. Is it purpose built? I’m also quite envious of yiur ascent of the inclined plane. I would love to do that one!
ReplyDeleteI hope some day you are able to do the Inclined Plane. It is quite an experience. It’s also interesting walking along the old locks that were originally used. The first telecommunication tower invented by Claude Chappe in Saverne was used for communication along the Paris-Strasbourg line. I hope some day we get to meet in person. I love following your posts.
